About Mary
Mary Sullivan is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Colorado with 45 years of clinical experience. She supports people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, depression, ADHD, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, and a wide range of life changes. Mary emphasizes practical steps and calm guidance so people can feel steadier day to day.
She blends mindfulness practices with client-centered conversation and cognitive-behavioral tools. Sessions focus on building skills for managing emotions, improving coping, and sorting through difficult memories. Mary also draws on dialectical behavior ideas and Jungian perspectives when they fit a person’s needs.
Mary has long experience in clinical settings and has worked with first responders and veterans around trauma-related issues. She highlights education about how the body and nervous system respond to stress and trauma as a core part of care. That teaching is offered alongside hands-on skill building for problem solving and emotion regulation.
People who seek her help can expect straightforward language and down-to-earth guidance. She aims to create a calm space for talking through hard events and for practicing new ways of coping. Her goal is to help people move toward more manageable daily routines and clearer decision-making.
Mary welcomes residents of Colorado and asks prospective clients to use the site’s Start Therapy flow to begin. She uses a matching process and scheduling steps so people can find a time that works with their life.
How therapeutic approaches shape online care
Mary uses mindfulness therapy to help people notice their present-moment experience and calm intense feelings; this can be useful for anxiety, stress, and trauma-related reactions. Client-centered therapy provides a listening, nonjudgmental space where the person’s priorities guide each session and personal values shape goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers clear, practical techniques for changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to improve mood and daily functioning.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Mary will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. She adapts methods over time so the plan fits changing needs and real-life challenges.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking since specific formats are not listed in the biography. Many people find online care helps them fit therapy around work, family, and busy schedules. It can make it easier to keep regular check-ins, use brief midweek skill practice, or avoid travel time. Licensed professionals can tailor pacing and techniques for phone or video appointments when those formats are available, helping therapy stay practical and relevant to daily life.
These summaries are based on the profile information listed on BetterHelp. Listing mindfulness as an approach does not mean a therapist holds a formal mindfulness training or certificate.
